''well, femme overhaul the log bit,

for the benefit of his daughter, who was
regarding the representative of the
press with admiring awe, ''what night

promptly returned Polly, with shade
of sadness in her tone.
"Ah, indeedr' returned Mr.. Jones'
interestedly, as he jotted something
down in the notebook, and continued
to write as he talked. Heavy gale, l
presume, and man fell from aloft, reef
ing the-a-main t'gallant sails?"
Regarding the speaker for a brief mo-
ment in plying silence, Captain Flagg
proceeded to enlighten his ignorance.
"Only square Triggers carries t'gal-

the Captain, laying his stumpy fore
finger on Mr.. Jones' arm, to command

why, what's that?' he exclaimed,
suddenly breaking off in his eulogium
on his lost porker, as the sound of a
suppressed giggle was heard to pro-
ceed from directly overhead. Turning
his eyes upward as he thus spoke, and
catching glimpse of Tad's mirthful
face peering over the top of the cotton
bales, Captain Flagg's fingers insensi-
bly, relaxed their hold upon the
iapanned tin case containing his papers
and money
This was the moment for which Mr..
Jones had been watching! Whipping
the tin case from the Captains unre-
sisting grasp, he lodged round the pile
of cotton bales before Captain Jethro
could say "Jack Robinson orPolly re-
cover her breath to scream.
Now, despite his sudden, il1-timed
mirth, Tad had been sharply watching
the movements of the erratic Mr.. Jones,
whose purpose he had dimly suspected
from the first moment of his pretended
interview And, as he snatched the
case, Tad, scrambling from his hiding
place with inconceivable rapidity, slid
down on the back side of the cotton
bales, just in time to confront the escap-
ing Jones.
Unlike the average boy-hero of fic-
ton, Tad did not throw himself bodily
upon the would-be robber, regardless
of personal safety, etc. But, instead,
resorting to a device not unknown to
playful youth in moments of extreme
hilarity, he threw himself oE all fours

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.

Significant Correspondence Which Tells
the Story of Their True Relations.
The correspondence between the
President and Secretary of the Treas
ury contained in the press dispatches
from Washington this morning, dis
poses at stroke of great volume of
gossip and rumor concerning the per-
sonal and official relations of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Manning which has
gained currency during the past few
weeks. In rendering his resignation,
for the second time, and in insisting
upon its acceptance, the Secretary de-
clares, very explicitly, that his with
drawal from the Cabinet is due solely to
the impaired condition of his health,
which renders him unequal to the tex
hausting round of administrative
tasks" which devolve upon the head of
the Treasury Department. 1t is evident
from the general tone of the letter, and
especially from the hearty expressions
of continued confidence and esteem
contained in the closing paragraph,
that Mr.. Manning is, and has been
from the beginning. in cordial sympa-
thy not only with the financial policy of
the Administration, but with the meth
DDS and principles which it has applied
in all the affairs of the Government.
The Presidents reply expresses his
sincere regret at Mr.. Manning's re-
tirement, and testifes very cordially
and frankly to the value of the Secre-
tary's services and the popular appre-
citation of his achievements and sue
cess. The President accepts the resig-
nation with unfeigned reluctance, to
take effect April l, and in conclusion
ventures the "earnest hope" that in
his new field of labor there may be al
lowed to him ''morc of comfort and
of ease than a conscientious discharge
of duty here permits There is just a
touch of pathos in these closing words,
coming as they evidently do straight
from the heart, and suggesting Il GER
tain WEAKNESS and disgust on the part
of the President with the trials, respon-
sibilities and perplexities of his lofty
station. To the man who, more than
any other, has shared these burdens,
augmented, as they have been, by the
UNJUST suspicious 'ie ialsh crlticisins,
the persistent misconstruction of mo-
tives and the systematic annoyances and
prosecutions of professed political
friends and supporters, these words
will appeal with special force. No one
so we'll as Daniel MSlning can grasp
their deep and pregnant meaning, or
appreciate so fully the difficulties, anx-
ieties and embarrassments that called
them forth.-Chjc00O Times.

BEGGARS IN PARIS.
Professional Mendfcants Who Live Hlg
and Keep Business Accounts.

Professional Mendfcants Who Live High
and Keep Business Accounts.
While thousands of the deserving
poor are daily dying of slow starvation,
there are in Paris gangs of professional
beggars, like the '.gueux" referred to
in Beranger's song, who are happy
race. Only few days ago chiffonier,
who would not pay his rent in the Belle
vile quarter, was elected from his
premises by force, and as the huissier's
men were hustling him out a sum of
money. in gold and silver, amounting
to nearly ESQ, rolled out of his rags.
There is also an old story told of a
Partisan blind beggar who was sta
toned every day on one of the bridges,
and to whom passing Samaritan once
gave a gold louis instead of franc.
Having discovered his mistake, the
almsgiver went back to the beggar.
but found that he had left
his post After having made
inquiries in the neighborhood, the
person obtained the mendicant's adj
dress, whittier he repaired in the even
ing. He found the blind man installed
in a comfortable villa, the door of
which was opened by tidy servant,
who said that her master was at dim
ner and could not be disturbed. The
stranger, however, made known his
errand, and the beggar sent down a
message by his man, saying that it was
for franc, but that he had not yet
made up his accounts for the day.
Finally the alms-giver was told to meet
the blind man on the bridge next day,
and the error, if any, would be recti-
fed. Only recently a true narrative OF
the same sort, but with slight varia-
ton, was told by M. Thivet before the
tribunal of correctional police, where
man named Samuel was being tried for
begging. Samuel is about sixty-four
years old, and was in the habit of beg
ging from house to house. When ar
rested he was found living in a COM
Portable apartment in the Rue Com
mines, for which he paid Gao year as
rent. An account-book was also found
in his rooms, in which he had entered
his takings. These, in some cases,
amounted to 20 francs, or Is shillings,
in one day. M. Thivet the prosecutor,
said that in December last Samuel went
to his house and represented himself as
commercial traveller temporarily out
of employment, having a wife and fam
| lily in restitution. He gave him 2
francs, but seeing him next day going
into another house, he watched him
and found him begging. He then had
him arrested as professional mendi-
cant, which was proved by the account
book found in his rooms. The tribunal
ordered Samuel to be sent to Jail for
| two months. London Telegraph.

directly in front of the flying feet of the
fraudulent felon!
Utterlng a wild whoop of dismay, Mr..
Jones plunged with OUtstretched arms
over Tad's PROSTATE body and struck
| the wharf with such startling sudden
ness that the tin case flew from his
fingers and was Immediately seized by
Tad, who had scrambled to his feet in
twinkling, though only second or
two sooner than the active Jones HIM
self, who, taking to his heels with the
speed POLITICALLY attributed to the
startled fawn, was quickly lost to sight
among the surrounding drays and ex-
| press-wagons.
Without his hat. and in a very bewil-
dered frame of mind, Captain Jethro
Flagg rolled heavily around the corner
of the pile of cotton bales. Following
| him at suitable intervals came breath

| johnson and the remainder of the
MARY J's'' crew, including the chief
mate-all comprehended in the lengthy
| person of Ephraim X. Small, otherwise
known as .Eph."
Tad's honest face shone with pleas
urable excitement as he handed the tin
box to Captain Flagg, and began brush
ing his dusty knees, while Polly Flagg
smiled her appreciation.
"My lad said Captain Flagg, plac-
ing his big hand on Tad s shoulder, cit $
nigh eight bells-come along and have
some dinner. Well talk over matters
aboard the vessel"
An invitation of this sort-particu-
larry under all the circumstances, was
not to be refused, and Tad, recovering
the sachel from its hiding-place among
the cotton bales, accompanied Cap
tain Flagg on board of the MARY
j." where mutual explanations fol-
lowed, while George Washington was
bringing the dinner into the small
cabin.
In contributing his OWL share, Tad
insensibly told the most of his simple
story, after which Polly Flagg, with
sparkling eyes, related her morning add
venture and Tad's connection there
with; hearing which, Captain Jethro
gravely shook hands with Tad across
the table. without speaking. Indeed,
he finished his dinner in like silence,
and, after pushing his chair back, sat
staring so hard at the youth that Tad
began to feel very hot and uncomforta-

speaker, rising to fanciful heights, is

port promises the best freights and big

sion of Captain Flagg's meaning, Tad,
conscious of slight choking in his
throat, replied sadly that he didn't
know-he had no mother, no friends,
no home, and it didn't matter much
where he went or what became of him.
Polly's eyes shone sympathetically, and
the Captains voice was quite husky
when, little later, he replied to Tad {

LAYING TILE DRAINS.
Experience of q Farmer Who Believes
the Construction of bitches.

Experience of Farmer Who Believes in
the Construction of bitches.
Many people complain of the chok-
ing up of their drains, but if properly
put down they ought to last and work
perfectly for lifetime. In the first
place, on account of expense, farmers
are apt to get their tile too small.
Secondly, they are often not leveled
properly. If small tile (say two inch)
be used, there should be a sole of
boards underneath, because it stands
to reason that some place in distance
of any given number of feet will be
softer than others, and, of course, the
tile on the soft place will settle down
and cause a depression in the line,
which will fill with sand, especially fine
mica particles, which will obstruct the
flow of water and cause the drain to
choke at that point, and consequently
all above it. Now if sole of boards is
laid underneath, they can not sink.
My way of putting down long bitches
is as follows: In the first place level
my ground to get the proper fall, lay
it off, and stake the line of ditch. Then
with good pair of horses run off the
bitches with furrow pillow twice in
each row, which cleans and throws it
out tolerably well. Then change the
horses to subsoil pillow, with long
double-tree, with chain attached, and
long jockey stick to run up and down
until the proper depth is reached, men
following after, each time, and with
narrow-blade shovels, removing the
loose earth. / use the common long
handled shovel cut down to six inches
in width, which is plenty wide
enough for any ordinary drain.
Then scrape the bottom with a
hoe or drag. six inches wide.
to smooth it and give the water an
| even flow. Then lay boards the whole
length, and lay tile on boards, one man
to lay the tile and hold in place while
another fills in some earth to keep them
stationary. After the whole line is laid
fill in with the two-horse plow. use
four-inch strips for the bottom.
Our ground is mostly black surface
soil, with subson Of gravel and pot
ter's clay mixed, impervious to water,
and almost as hard as concrete, so that
a man can hardly get sharp pick into
| it; but I find that the subsoil plow
| loosens it six inches wide and three
deep in every passage though the ditch

Sewing Machine improvements.

The new sewing machine contrived
by an Edinburgh inventor claims to be
the simplest yet made for effecting the
lock stitch. It is on the rotary shuttle
principle, the novelty of it lying in a
circular saucer-shaped shuttle, which
is set up on edge and laid with its fiat
side against the left-hand end of the
lower shaft, which is held in position
by a revolving cup. The axis OF
the shaft, the shuttle and the
cup, being in line and revolv-
| ing together, the result is an
easy motion far excelling the old re-
| ciprocating shuttle. The machine may
| be said to be constructed OH the rotary
system, for. as described, nearly every
part rotates. which, it Is said, renders
the motions easy and light. and makes
it capable of much higher speed than.
